Preview

On September 15, 2024, as part of the 5th round of La Liga, the match between Atletico and Valencia will take place at the Metropolitano stadium in Madrid. Both clubs are in different forms and with different problems, but each team will strive for victory.

Atletico (Madrid)
Diego Simeone's team has confidently started the new season, not having suffered a single defeat yet. The "Colchoneros" have two wins and two draws. It is especially worth noting their match with Athletic from Bilbao, where, thanks to a lucky coincidence in the last minutes, Atletico was able to snatch a victory (1:0), scoring a goal in stoppage time.

The team is well organized in defense, and in attack, the bet is placed on players such as Angel Correa and Alex Serlot. Despite the defensive style of play typical of Simeone's team, the Madrid team is ready to exploit any mistakes by the opponent and squeeze the maximum out of the created moments.

Valencia
The season for the "Bats" under the leadership of Ruben Baraja has been extremely unsuccessful so far. The team has earned only one point in four rounds and is at the bottom of the standings. Financial and personnel problems caused by poor management of the club did not allow Valencia to qualitatively strengthen the squad before the season. Moreover, the team has problems with implementation, which was especially noticeable in the match with Villarreal, when, playing with the majority, Los Ches could not hold on to the victory (1:1).

Valencia continues to have problems with the squad, adding pressure to Baraja, who must fight for the result even in difficult conditions.

Forecast
Atletico looks like the favorite of this match, given the stability of the game and high-quality organization on the field. Valencia will be fighting to avoid another defeat, but their chances of success in Madrid are not that great.
